My first visit to Beijing, China, was 15th of April to 15th of May 2007. Beijing is in my heart forever since then. Our 3 room apartment is in the Minan Residential Complex at Dongzhimen Nei Dajie, Dong Cheng District, Beijing. Local street is Dong Yang Wei Jie. Close to Gui Jie food street & the subway station Dongzhimen, busses, bicycling or walking to see all of central Beijings interesting sights. I´ve been to Beijing also in 2008, 2009, 2010 and 2014. Who could ask for more?
